The process of answering this is the process by which the customer is clear about their business processes and then knows what features they need to touch the screen cash register. The machine bought in this way will not regret, so I know how to apply it.

Guests pay for the order first, and the touch screen cash register will print a small ticket to the guest at the counter, and the kitchen will automatically issue the order. After taking the small ticket, the guest will take a seat. After the kitchen is out, the waiter picks up the dish according to the single number.

3), guests take their own food

Guests can make a la carte payment and take a small ticket to the food outlet.

3. Knowing your own business process, customers can choose the cash register they want according to their own requirements.

At present, there are several types of cash register machines on the market. Nowadays, the common cash register machines in the catering industry are traditional button-type, and the currently popular touch screen cash registers.

The first type of button cash register

Providing only the most basic functions, the biggest problem with the use of the button-type cash register in catering is that the button-type cash register usually requires the cashier to enter the traditional way of entering the dish number. Unlike specialty stores and convenience stores, cashiers can quickly scan code through an external bar code reader. The catering industry is different, generally there is no bar code scanner to use, and general catering stores usually have as few as thirty or fifty dishes, and hundreds of dishes, and each dish needs to be numbered first, then the number of the dishes is one by one. The entry is placed on the cash register, so the number of each menu needs to be ruined, and each button-type cashier needs to back hundreds of dish numbers. Many customers who purchase such cash registers do not know this, so this feature is not only ignored by customers, but also deliberately concealed by the seller.

As a general meal: restaurants, hot pot restaurants, restaurants, breakfast shops, tea restaurants, cake rooms, etc., about 50-400 dishes. As a cashier, it is not an easy task to carry out so many dishes. Moreover, the dishes are constantly added and modified.

The cashier's cashier is a more mobile job, which means constant training and familiar time.

The cashiers of many restaurants also have the business of the bar.

Therefore, the button-type cash register is more troublesome for the work of efficiency and training, and the labor cost of input is relatively high.

E.g:
Enter the number of a restaurant Kung Pao Chicken is 101#, then when the customer orders this dish, the cashier should enter the number 101 of the hard note, and then make the order.

Moreover, the button-type cash register does not work well for the editing function of the table. Generally, the management of the table needs to have billing, checkout, temporary billing, pending order (click here to understand: cash register pending), clear table, and table, Retreats, desks, etc. can not meet the needs of the restaurant.

The advantage of this type of cash register is that it is cheap, and there are 1000-3000 on the market. See what configuration you need. The disadvantage is that the efficiency is poor and the function is weak. It does not help the overall storefront marketing, and the business analysis. weak.

The second type of cash register is a touch screen cash register

Touch screen cash register information function is strong, to achieve a finger work, you only need one finger, you can achieve all the order function, each menu is divided into a button, when ordering, according to the name of the dish You can press to create a package for multiple menus.

The touch screen cash register system consists of a touch screen integrated machine, a cash register software, a cash box, and a plurality of printers, which form a work network. After the order is placed on the counter, the order can be automatically placed in the kitchen immediately. The lobby staff is sent to the customer's desk or hand according to the kitchen number.

The basic workflow for touch screen cashier is:

1) The counter cashier will make an order and automatically print the bill. At the same time, it will support the temporary billing. Before the checkout, the guest will make a temporary statement with all the details, and the kitchen will also inform the production;

2) If there is a table number, you need to open the table first, and then order, most of them are the same;

3), can support the number of input:

Usually the number of touch screen cash registers is calculated as one person at a time. This is wrong in the food and beverage and other service industries, and the number is very important for the catering industry to count the number of people eating and per capita consumption. Therefore, it is usually necessary to set the "number" button and the "force input number" function. Otherwise, a few orders forget to enter, then all statistics are inaccurate.

4), taste settings

Different tastes can be set according to the requirements of customers, such as: Chinese food "slightly spicy", coffee "less sugar" and other production information

5), the role of price change: for the sale of the price of vegetables. The so-called price dish is the price uncertainty every day. Then you need to temporarily sell the price. This uses this "price change" button.

6), checkout After all the products and data are set, you can checkout. You can support multiple payment methods such as cash, credit card, gift certificate, etc. when you check out.

7) After printing and printing, the customer's consumption list will be printed on the counter, which can be provided to the customer, kept by the customer, understand the consumption, happy to eat, and the kitchen will automatically make the order. After the kitchen is finished, the notification service will be provided. The person can deliver the food to the customer's desk or hand to complete the entire sales operation.

Therefore, the advantage of the touch screen cash register is that it has high efficiency, complete functions, no loss of orders, and missed orders. At the same time, it also supports rich business analysis reports, simple data management, member management, and invoicing management. Assistant. You don't need to spend too much labor cost, as long as you understand the basics of the computer, you can work, there is no requirement for personnel, provide rich business analysis functions, and have great help to the administrator. The function is very complete, and the boss is not solved. Less troubles.

The disadvantages are: high price, cheap 5000, expensive more than 10,000, depending on which configuration is required, and the price of computer equipment has a great relationship with quality, as well as after-sales service.

The current market situation is like this

Hardware: second-hand refurbishment, (motherboard, cpu, memory, hard drive, touch screen... are second-hand, outdated, even products that have been eliminated for n years), after 6 months of use, the appearance is outdated, the failure rate is extremely

Software: Hotel, KTV... Software modified version, the industry is all-inclusive, the details are not professional, the stability is low, only the simple report is provided, the steps are redundant, the operation speed is slow, and the time cost is wasted...

Some systems are only single store, unable to adapt to chain demand, headquarters management....

No member features or features are not comprehensive...

Understand the functions of different cash registers, know what value different types of cash registers can achieve, and then according to your own financial situation, as well as the specific checkout process, you can easily choose what kind of cash register you need.
